Summary
Title: Risky Research: Unraveling the Gain-of-Function Debate
The life sciences are vital, but risky research raises concerns. Gain-of-function research, where microbes gain enhanced traits like lethality or transmissibility, sparked controversy, especially regarding COVID-19’s origins.
In Gain of Function, Nicholas Evans, an expert in the field, explains this research, separates fact from fiction, and explores why a few experiments cause such significant issues.
